I enjoyed your review of this WWII chaplain biography, especially the family tie-in comments. My father-in-law served in WWII at Fort Lewis in the medical core. My dad was born in 1941.
Nazi Germany has been an interest of mine since I picked up "The Hiding Place" on display in my church library when I was only 10. The care the chaplain offered reminded me of Corrie ten Boom's experience she described in her other book, "Tramp of the Lord." After a speaking engagement, a man walked up to her. She recognized him as the meanest concentration camp guard who oversaw her and her sister. He had come to ask for forgiveness. Corrie fought it. Her sister died under his "leadership." But she drew on the strength of the Lord and did forgive him.
I've never read anything on the Nuremburg trials. I should look up this book.
Thanks for sharing. By the way, we're nearly the same age. I'm 57.
